ESPN reports Memphis Grizzlies rookie Ja Morant apologized on Twitter today for reposting an image on social media with a profanity directed at police officers on the back of his jersey, writing that it “didn’t clearly and accurately convey what I wanted to share.” On Sunday, Morant posted an image that had the word “F—” and the number 12 displayed on the back of his jersey. Morant’s jersey number is 12, but “F— 12” is an anti-police slang term. Morant wrote “want dat on my jersey fr” in his tweet and also shared the image on his Instagram story with a similar message. He later deleted the posts.
